Topic: NVIDIA cards question (Read 1926 times)

HI all,is there someone that is able to fix the NVIDIA cards problems?I see many questions from many users, but i don't understand if all NVIDIA cards are ables to run LinuxMCE with UI2 !!I've a NVIDIA Quadro FX 3450/4000 SDI graphic card. I've try http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Display_Drivers but it don't work!! Never! I try other steps to install NVIDIA drivers and i post all my tests in this forum!I want to solve these question because it is primary for me. I don't want UI1 interface, but UI2. I've buy an NVIDIA cards because LinuxMCE documentation wrote << Unfortunately very few video card manufacturers have the necessary composite extensions in their Linux drivers. At this moment the only video hardware we have confirmed UI2 works with are the nVidia 6xxx and 7xxx series; preferably a 7xxx with at least 128MB RAM.>>

In my experience and from rumours on this forum GeForce4xxx, Gf5xxxx, Gf6xxxx upto Gf7300 should all be able to run UI2 alpha blended with the proprietory drivers.The new drivers for 7xxx and 8xxx isn't included in LMCE yet and works only after a lengthy manual ordeal fighting LMCE every step of the way for control of the config files.

1. I've install nvidia drivers from Linux MCE installer wizard. Its don't work...when i reboot kubuntu i see a black screen. I push CTRL+ALT+F1 and check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf. It is totally wrong!! I don't see nothing about my nvidia card.
